Wave propagation in fluids : models and numerical techniques

This new edition presents the physical principles of wave propagation in fluid mechanics and hydraulics. The mathematical techniques that allow the behavior of the waves to be analyzed are presented, along with existing numerical methods for the simulation of wave propagation. Particular attention is paid to discontinuous flows, such as steep fronts and shock waves, and their mathematical treatment. Application exercises are given at the end of each chapter, enabling readers to test their understanding of the subject.Read more...
